War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“However, why do they share the same name and appearance? It’s possible that he has grown so strong due to a fortuitous encounter in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!” Yun Fu Ye muttered under his breath, still convinced that the new Vice Palace Master was most likely the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion! He continued thinking about it, growing more and more convinced, ‘If he’s not the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, why is it that we haven’t heard of someone like him in the Human-Devil clan? It seems as though he had appeared out of nowhere. How could it be a coincidence that he shares the same name and appearance with the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?!’

Before Huang Wen Jing could react, Yun Fu Ye excused himself and left like a gust of wind. His eyes were glinting coldly. “Little Junior Sister, please excuse me. I have to go now.”

Yun Fu Ye left because he felt it was imperative that he gathered all the Vice Palace Masters, excluding Duan Ling Tian, to come up with a solution. He should have let his master, Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, who was in closed-door cultivation know about this so that he could solve this.

However, Yuwen Hao Chen’s current closed-door cultivation was different from his previous ones. He was presented with a golden opportunity and decided to seize the chance to comprehend heaven and earth to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. This would allow him to overcome the bottleneck and become an Eminent Celestial! This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Who knew how long he would have to wait before an opportunity presented itself again?

Yun Fu Ye knew all this very well so he decided not to disturb Yuwen Hao Chen’s cultivation. This was also why he had callously killed Huang Zheng, the patrolling disciple, who had sworn on the lightning penalty oath that could affect his master’s cultivation. Fortunately, he was able to set up a noise-canceling formation due to his lightning-fast reflex. If his master was disturbed, who knew if he would lose the chance to become an Eminent Celestial?

Since Yun Fu Ye was a Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, it did not take long for him to gather all the Vice Palace Masters. When everyone arrived, he did not beat around the bush and quickly explained what he had discovered to everyone.

“This…”

The few Vice Palace Masters were stunned. Their new Vice Palace Master was not a Devil Cultivator? Most importantly, he was the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion! Although they found the matter hard to believe, they could not refute the evidence that Yun Fu Ye presented them.

One of the Vice Palace Masters asked grimly, “Vice Palace Master Yun, does Lord Palace Master know about this?”

“No, not yet.” Yun Fu Ye shook his head. “Master has gone into closed-door cultivation due to an opportunity for him to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation… If I disturb master now, who knows how long before an opportunity would present itself again? For this reason, I decided not to disturb him for the time being.”

“Lord Sect Leader actually found an opportunity to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation?”

The other few Vice Palace Masters were delighted when they heard this. How could they not feel delighted? They knew what it meant if a powerhouse at the peak of the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation! If their Palace Master managed to overcome the tribulation, he would become an Eminent Celestial! Moreover, they had no doubts that their Palace Master would successfully overcome the tribulation. After all, in the history of Wandering Saint Palace, none of the Palace Masters had failed the tribulation. This was because they all had a special method to deal with the Celestial Ascension Tribulation.

“Master told me it might take him a year before he comes out of closed-door cultivation,” Yun Fu Ye said to the other Vice Palace Master, “Therefore, in this coming year, we must not act rashly and alert our enemy. This news can’t be leaked. We must stall for time until master comes out!”

The few other Vice Palace Masters agreed with Yun Fu Ye’s words. After all, apart from the Palace Master, none of them was a match for the new Vice Palace Master.

Although the others from the Three Palaces and Six Halls would definitely help them deal with their new Vice Palace Master, they did not want this matter to be made known because they did not want to tarnish the Wandering Saint Palace’s reputation! When all was said and done, this was a matter of their palace anyway.

“To play it safe, I’d like all of you to swear on the lightning penalty oath that you wouldn’t breathe a word of this to anyone else!” Yun Fu Ye looked at one of the Vice Palace Masters pointedly. The Vice Palace Master was none other than Huang Qi Ling’s father.

When Huang Qi Ling’s father saw Yun Fu Ye staring at him, he knew that Yun Fu Ye was aware of his son’s close relationship with Duan LingTian. He sighed inwardly. ‘Ling’er, you’ve indeed made a ‘good’ friend!’

After Yun Fu Ye set up a simple noise-canceling Formation, the other Vice Palace Masters swore on the lightning penalty one after another that they would not spread word about what they had heard.

Curiously, a month after the Vice Palace Masters of Wandering Saint Palace swore on the lightning penalty oath, news about Vice Palace Master Duan Ling Tian being the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion spread like a wildfire overnight in Wandering Saint Palace.

Before Yun Fu Ye could take measures to stop the news from spreading, it had spread through the entire Wandering Saint Palace before spreading out.

“Damn it!” Yun Fu Ye was so furious that he had killed Hou Feng and the other two patrolling disciples. He suspected the news was spread by these three people. He did not suspect the other few Vice Palace Masters because they had sworn on the lightning penalty oath.

A cold and lonely figure was seen standing in the sky above the Wandering Saint Palace. She was staring in the direction where Duan Ling Tian was staying and murmured, “I hope he receives news about this and leaves the Wandering Saint Palace and Human-Devil Saint City…”

Yun Fu Ye would not have thought that Huang Wen Jing, his little Junior Sister, was the one who had spread the news since she wanted to warn Duan Ling Tian in time so that he could make an escape. She knew he would be killed once her master came out of closed-door cultivation. She could not bear to see him die even though she knew he was not a Devil Cultivator.

“These are the only things I can do for you… The rest will have to depend on your luck,” Huang Wen Jing said with a sigh before her figure disappeared.

Apart from the people in Wandering Saint Palace, Huang Qi Ling was shocked as well. “Brother Ling Tian is the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion? He’s not a Devil Cultivator? How can it be?” Even after he regained his senses, he still found it hard to believe.

The news spread out of the Wandering Saint Palace to the Human-Devil Saint City.

Meanwhile, in the Boar-Devil clan’s territory…

The three Patriarchs had gathered again when they received news about the Human-Devil clan.

“After a year, Duan Ling Tian’s identity as the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is finally exposed!” The chief of the Red Boar Tribe said with a smirk.

“The Human-Devil clan must be in chaos now. With Duan Ling Tian’s strength and the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, he would definitely wreak havoc on the Human-Devil clan!” The chief of the Black Boar Tribe said.

“Let alone the leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls, even the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan who’s an Eminent Celestial might not be able to deal with Duan Ling Tian who has the Devilseal Tablet!” The chief of the Thunder Boar Tribe sneered and said scornfully, “Once the Human-Devil clan is in trouble, those few old geezers would definitely make an appearance. At that time, Duan Ling Tian will definitely die even if he has the Devilseal Tablet!”

The three Patriarchs thought that Duan Ling Tian could deal with the Human-Devil clan with his Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, but they were unaware that the Devilseal Tablet was incomplete! A whole Devilseal Tablet might have easily killed an Eminent Devil, but an incomplete Devilseal Tablet could not even kill a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
